Run Smart: A Nutrition Guide for Runners

It doesn't matter if you're running a 5K, 10K, Half or Full Marathon — you'll always do better when you eat right. Good food is the best fuel for a runner.

Still, knowing food is fuel doesn't mean I always make the best choices. It's easier to eat smart when you have a plan. A plan makes shopping and food prep part of the training.

Nutrition strategist, Yvette Waters MS, RDN, CISSN of Raley's Nob Hill Foods created a helpful guide for runners. She explains how to prep for your race with good nutrition during training, the week before you race, and after your event.

I'm running next weekend, so I'm following the Raley's nutrition guide for my day-by-day nutrition throughout race week. It'a an easy-to-follow plan that helps set me up for success. I want to kick things off right for my first race of the new year.

Raley's Nob Hill Foods is a sponsor for the Napa Valley Marathon on Sunday, March 1, 2020. I hope to run the Napa Valley Marathon sometime soon, and be properly fueled!
